All Hallow's Eve - 01450

[Pochi 11313]

I took Roman Gruba's OSL class at Cancon. He wanted to teach us about atmosphere so we were supposed to paint one side as if it were lit by moonlight and the other side by another source, in this case, her lantern.

 

Her broom is only sticky tacked on so pay no attention to the blob on her back.

 

Technically, she isn't "finished" as I would have spent a lot more time glazing and working in a little more color. I think she turned out pretty cool for only two hours of work in class and I feel like I learned a lot.

Beautiful!!

All that in just 2 hours?! Incredible.. And the end result is a very satisfying OSL.. We gotta get more OSL from you now..

This looks like a great figure to practice lighting effects on.  I particularly like the way the light fades into a sunset orange at its fringes.

Thanks for showing her.  I feel like I learned something just looking at her.

I am trying to decide whether to keep her as is or dip her and try again. I will probably leave her. I actually have another one of her. Maybe I will try a second one and take my time and do lots of glazing and apply everything I learned. Why not?

 

It took it a little bit to click in my head because this was not what I was expecting to learn today! I thought it would just be the OSL part, not the whole atmosphere type stuff. Now that I I have a grasp of how it should be done, I will definitely be practicing a lot more OSL! I got Judgement's Istariel and Andrea's Olfo Fastfeet for Christmas. Both need lots of OSL!

This was not at all what I had planned for this figure. When we were told to bring a model primed in black, I grabbed her because she had a lantern and I have 2 of them so if I messed it up, I still have a second one. It ended up being perfect for this exercise! Roman said I need more oranges now. First I needed more dark red, then more orange! The dark red is red mixed with...Nightshade Purple! She is actually basecoated with Nightshade Purple and her moonlit side is NP with a little light blue added for each subsequent highlight. (I was using supplied paint so I don't know the other colors. I had purchased a new bottle of Nightshade Purple though!)

 

One other little note on this figure. I thought she had bows holding her overskirt back. They are tiny bats! She is so cute!

Thanks! Once the concept clicked, it honestly seemed easy. I learn so much better when I can see someone else do it. I didn't understand from his description but when he brought his practice mini around it was a lightbulb moment!

Amazing lighting! Saved for detailed perusal when I go do OSL. :)

Very nice work on her!
